a shadow soon coming from the demon as it wrapped around Maeve's waist, another soon snaking up her hands which held his wrists. the wicked creature smiled, an almost gentle smile at the healer. as she would soon find all her spells, and abilities unusable as long as he had her in his coils of darkness.
"I like that look, your emotions, your heart they are true to your feelings. So in Honor of your bravery, to seek a peaceful end, I shall make you a special offer. but you will have only a few seconds to accept or say no. "
as looked into her eyes. the wicked creature would pass his offer to her mentally, as to avoid letting the warring sister hear it at first. wanting to enjoy the show if it was accepted, and surprised the obviously stronger maiden who was struggling at the moment to defend herself from the puppet's who power continued to increase along with his speed, as her blade soon snapped. the impact point from the claw causing the metal to smolder. as Jackal would leap back once the blade broke, as this momentary reprieve was thanks to Maeve, as Fallon would see her sister beside the fiend, and in his clutches, however it would be impossible for her to get close enough to pull them apart or attempt any rescue of the healer, at least until her answer was given.
"So then my lovely little maiden, do you wish me to release your friend, and allow that powerful one to pass through? I shall keep you, until she defeats my lord, as such free pass through my domain of this dungeon, for as my attempts as she can live through. However in return for this protective passage, I will require your hand as my mate. For if the lord dies, I shall be free from this prison, with my freedom, I shall give you freedom as well from me. a simple trade no? Become my companion, and playmate until freedom is granted by the one who seeks blood shed, and in return, I free your friends, and grant safe passage to fight my lord as many times as it takes, if they escape any defeats. "
Giving this deal, Maeve would be surrendering herself as a demonic bride, even if temporary, however she would never be allowed to leave his side, or domain, as long as the demon's lord was alive. yet her friends, or more so friend and sister would be able to pass his domain safely, and fight the lord as many times as they needed. unaware of how truly one sided this deal was. it would seem to good to be true, however as he was in her mind, Maeve would be able to access the demon's mind. as such she could discover that he was once a heroic adventurer like them, before the lord defeated, and made him a mid boss for this domain. as a reward for being strong enough to almost kill the demon lord. thus showing it's truest feeling of loneliness, and desire for freedom. if nothing else she would be the source of one way of healing, but would this be worth the price of her body and freedom?
